Candidates for this position will contribute to the team by utilizing industry-standard functional verification tools (e.g., Questa, VCS, Verdi), logical equivalence tools (e.g., OneSpin 360EC), and proprietary software tools to verify design function and integrity. Common verification targets include embedded processors, DSPs, filters, transceivers, data links, systems-on-chip, and decoders.

Experience in the cybersecurity, electronic warfare, encryption, radar, and/or satellite communications domains is a plus.

Level 2 salary range: 90,000-95,000

Level 3 salary range : 120,000-130,000

Level 4 salary range : 160,000-175,000
